K-Meter is a metering plug-in based on the K-System with support for upsampled peak detection, ITU-R BS.1770-1 (LKFS) perceived loudness and monitor calibration.

Feature Overview:

• Built from the ground up around the K-System.
• Upsampled peak detection that discovers inter-sample peaks missed by other meters (upsamples up to 4x the input rate).
• Perceived loudness meter supporting the LKFS measurement (ITU-R BS.1770-1). This models the ear's sensitivity to different frequencies.
• Band-limited RMS meter for monitor calibration and compatibility with other meters.
• Pink noise generator for monitor calibration.
• Resettable clip indicators with sensitivity dial.
• Collapsible interface that occupies less screen space.
• All-in-one 32-bit and 64-bit universal binary supporting Intel and PPC Macs.
• SIMD optimization including AltiVec and SSE support.
• User manual including background on the K-System.

Changes in v1.4.7

• Bugfix for incompatibility with Windows XP
• Bugfix for WaveLab 6 crashes
• Adds average-over display, which gives you an indication of the loudest average levels that are reached.
• Bugfix for a channel layout bug in FL Studio.
• Numeric peak display now displays peak-hold value.
• Peak-hold can be reset by click on the numeric peak-hold display.
• Added full-scale option to make reading LUFS easier.
• ITU modes now display LUFS value rather than per-channel K-weighted values.
• Changed ITU Slow time to 3 seconds to match EBU R128 slow setting.
• Changed ITU Fast time to 400 milliseconds to match EBU R128 momentary setting.
• Each meter scale now occupies the entire meter.
• Removed time restriction from demo.
• Added more information about loudness metering to the manual.
